Side Swept Style

I first saw this woman in a grocery store on the Upper East Side. I admired her gorgeous hair and elegant style, but she left the store before I could ask her for a photo. The other day I was walking on Madison Avenue and I saw her again. I knew that I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by, so I ran up to her and asked if I could take her photograph. She was very gracious and I can't wait until the next time I run into her. Doesn't this make you a little less afraid of letting your hair go white?

BTW, Ari, congratulations on your mention (on page 56) of Town & Country's new March issue. I found you through that and have spent the entire weekend "catching-up". I am 50 and have sort of had a rebirth of optimism because of seeing these fabulous ladies. Thank you one and all!

these women inspire me...I've decided to let my gray hair grow out again! And I want me some big glasses when I get my Rx filled in the next week or two! Fantastic...at last, one step away from 70, I am FREE to be ME! Yay!

Wow, she is beautiful!! Her hair is so elegant and the colours look so beautiful and fresh on her. They suit her complexion and hair perfectly especially with this hint of pink lipstick! BREATHTAKING!! xxxI hope you get to snap her again!!! xx

I just now found this blog and I'm loving it. It reminds me of my great grandmother that passed away couple years ago. Se was always smashing with her violet hair and jackets. Me and my sister got all of her jewellery and her little handbags and i wear them all the time! She always was a reminder that you are never too old for fashion :)

I am 31 and started going grey when I was 16. I have been colouring my hair for 15 years and finally just started letting my natural colour grow out. I'd say that your blog had a big influence in this decision. I hope that my colour comes in a beautiful shade of white like this lovely lady's.

She looks very beautiful and has such a lovely colour combination. I love white hair. Thank you Ari for your wonderful and inspiring site. I hope all your ladies and gentlemen get to see the appreciative responses.

Ahh, lovely. I went away to boarding school at 13 ... and learned to dye my hair. At 45 or so it turned gray. I stopped dying it at that time. Although not white I have a magnificent short grey mane that I love!

This past weekend a woman with white hair was sitting in front of my husband and me in church. My 25-y.o. hubby's not known to be very interested in hair and clothes, mind you- but when we left he kept saying things like, "Her hair was so beautiful! Will your hair be like that one day? It looked so soft! She looked like an angel!" Sweetest thing ever.
